Use the left and right triangles. (the two smaller ones -- ACD and BCD)
By similar triangles ACD is similar to BCD
on the left AD/CD is one ratio
On the right CD/DB is the other. These two ratios are equal because they are corresponding parts.
AD / CD = CD / DB
AD = 3
DB = 12
CD = ??
Substitute.
3/CD = CD/12 Cross multiply
36 = CD^2
sqrt(36) = sqrt(CD^2)
CD = 6 <<<<==== Answer.
A <<<<====Answer.
3√24= 3√2^2*6 = 3*2√6 = 6√6
2√384= 2√8^2*6 = 2*8√6 = 16√6
√96= √4^2*6 = 4√6
6√6 -16√6- 4√6 = -14√6
Final answer: -14√6
We knownthe equation of a line is y = mx + b. where m is slope and b is y intercept.
the point slope equation of a line is y - y1 = m (x - x1)
plug in x1 and y1 and m
y- (5) = (3)(x - (-1))
y - 5 = 3x + 3
y = 3x + 8
